Huh? Thought they were sure they killed him in his villa in Basra? Must've missed his escape

And you'd think his resurection would have yielded a bit more attention as well.

He was reported killed during the war, but there have been reports of him being alive since, and Centcom has maintained his status as "uncertain". Thats why his being alive is not news.
His being captured IS good news, however.

Seem to be certain they have got the right one.
Any indication of when the trials will start?

More news from Iraq
from Las Vegas Sun
"U.S. forces captured a suspected senior member of Saddam Hussein's Fedayeen militia who was carrying a shopping list for explosives materials, a military official said Thursday.
The man, Rashid Mohammed, was also holding a list of ten Iraqi names that U.S. forces believe was an assassination list when soldiers stopped his car on a highway north of Baqouba, 45 miles northeast of Baghdad, with two other men in a car, Lt. Col. William Adamson from the 588th Engineering Battalion said. Mohammed was detained along with two men who were traveling with him, he added.
"We suspect this was a senior man organizing Saddam Fedayeen activities in Baqouba. We also have reason to believe, based on documents obtained, that he was actively purchasing improvised explosive devices with remote controlled detonators," Adamson said. He did not give the names of the people on the list.
Adamson said other informants had told U.S. forces that Mohammed had been trying to organize a 600-strong militia in the area around Baqouba. "

A quote from Chemical Ali
Per human rights watch, via Oxblog:
"I will kill them all with chemical weapons! Who is going to say anything? The international community? F_ck them! the international community, and those who listen to them!... I will not attack them with chemicals just one day, but I will continue to attack them with chemicals for fifteen days." "

What kind of terrorist keeps the stuff on a SHOPPING LIST of all things? Isn't that not a particularly safe thing to do? He deserves one of those "stupid criminal" awards.

Odds are it won't last long. 
I'll bet he'll be extraordinarily cooperative though.

He was.
The Americans found his corpse and then sent SG-1 away with it, to find a Goa´uld Sarcophagus to resurrect him.
As we now see the Mission was met with success
